*tentatively says “hello”* who am i kidding. online is sooo much more comfortable than in person. i’m sure i’d be uncomfy with this if confronted, but i’d also probs keep my eyes down and find some way to prevaricate/get out of the conversation as soon as possible! *hates confrontation*
-
just so y’all know, i wasn’t being rhetorical. i really do have social anxiety & it’s so very hard to get up in front of groups/be in public, but i have to for my job. i do hate confrontation, though…maybe that’s why i let my mean boss be mean to me. :( anyone want to talk meds? i’ve finally found a combo that seems to work for me. & thank…[Read more]

In the last couple years I’ve come to think that it’s very likely that I have a social anxiety disorder (or possibly an anxiety disorder in general), but no insurance so I haven’t gotten it checked out. But a part of my job involves being in front of people too and it’s excruciating. I’m also very conflict avoidant and yet picked a career that…[Read more]

i was lucky (?) enough that my crisis moment came in college and i was able to go to a counselor and doctor on campus. the school paid for it. i’m very aware how lucky i am to have access to medication and mental health professionals (have insurance through work). the MHPA has made it even easier for me, though, cause it was still hard to make p…[Read more]

me too–although I’ve found that toughing through my social anxiety for work stuff is a lot easier than trying to deal with it in actual social situations.
-
I feel you. Sometimes I wonder if I’m really an introvert or just miserably socially anxious. With work/school stuff there’s a goal to reach, but with people I’m always convinced there’s no point, they’ll just hate me anyway. : /
-
yes. it’s like “doing it for the greater good” almost. in social situations, it’s too easy to let one’s self off the hook (not feeling up to it/uncomfy/not my scene & the hundreds of other reasons we employ).

I know how you feel. I was on meds for mine till I had to stop taking them because they gave me mood swings which sucked. Plus, moving to a new place certainly didn’t help.
-
some of my meds caused that. the doc worked with me to adjust and change to different type (it’s not usually good to just stop taking them). there’s still a chemical imbalance and that’s what the medicine is addressing. (from my totally experiential, not a doctor, point of view)

Les Autostraddleuses Francophones 12 years, 5 months agoQuelles autres langues est-ce que vous parlez – en plus du francais et de l’anglais? Je veux apprendre l’allemand et j’en ai choisi une classe pour l’année prochaine. Je parle un peu de l’italien aussi mais j’y ai appris des opéras donc je sais seulement les petits morceaux.
-
je parle un peu d’italien aussi (j’ai étudié à Rome pour un semestre et mon coeur est toujours là) et très peu d’allemande. je l’ai étudié pour 4 semestres mais le grammaire est affreux et j’ai oublié beaucoup. par contre, il est plus facile que le français à prononcer. Je veux bien l’étudier encore.
je suis jalouse! l’italien est fait pour…[Read more]

J’ai étudié le latin et l’espagnol–je suis toute débutante en latin mais j’ai fait assez de progrès cette année, mais je ne sais que quelque petits phrases d’espagnol, même si je le comprends. L’italien m’a toujours échappé, mais je suis d’accord–c’est une belle langue pour l’opéra. J’aimerais bien apprendre une langue orientale, mais je ne sa…[Read more]

je parle seulement un peu d’espagnol. je veux apprendre le parler mieux, mais c’est un objectif distant a ce moment :/ et je rêve d’étudier l’hindi aussi…
(oooh il fait longtemps que j’ai parlé ou ecrivé en fracais! il faut que je le practique en plus!)
-
je parle un peu d’espagnol, mais je devrais l’étudier encore parce que c’est plus utile dans ma ville et aux Etats-Unis en générale. Je sais quelques mots d’allemand et de kreyol haïtien aussi.

Les Autostraddleuses Francophones 12 years, 5 months agoje viens de lire Huntress , roman lesbien de Malinda Lo. est-ce que quelqu’un peut recommander des romans lesbiens en français?
sinon, peutêtre des romans français en général. merci!
